Essentials for home gym?

ljones27uk

Hi all,
I'm converting my garage into a home gym and am interested in people's opinions on what equipment they would have if they could only have a small number of items? My current aim is to lose weight, which I'm achieving through calories deficit and cardio. I'm looking to get a similar physique to brad Pitt in fight club, lol, I can wish... And would welcome views on what equipment is essential. I'm thinking treadmill, cross trainer, bench or cage and a heavy bag.. I don't really have any more space for anything else, but would you recommend swapping anything out?
Completely new to this so all advice or opinions welcome.
Cheers
Luke

Squat Rack

Power rack with pull-up and dip apparatus and an adjustable bench. I would personally opt for bumper plates rather than iron to start with and add more iron later. Maybe some lighter plates in iron. I would build an Oly-platform.

Power rack and adjustable bench with a full set of Olympic weights will get you a long ways. After that I would get a nice set of adjustable dumbbells.
